ok, maybe it's less of a slope and more of a mild incline. virtually any personal remark could potentially offend someone in the audience. however, to say that an artist should be morally bound to not include any revealing commentary (particularly in a personal performance, as opposed to an acting performance) doesn't make sense.

<<If I am to present Hugo's work>>

But if Hugo is to present Hugo's work he can (morally) do whatever the hell he wants, he's Hugo, he's the artist, it's his work...

<<To do such a thing is to corrupt Hugo!>>

But if Hugo wants to say a few words about politics or religion he can. He's Hugo, you paid to see him, to see the product of his mind, of who he is.

The artist is the artist.

Either you are a gentlemen or a lady or you are a philistine. Leftists are philistines who also lie.
